But we hope that by paging through the 1974 Cub you can remember this year the way it was with all its victories and happy occasions. The three R s are an impor- tant part of the curriculum of every school. However, we feel that our school program also stressed other important R s. Thanks to all who contributed their time, effort, and talents to make this book possible. Kim Jensen Liz Keller Jeri Voss 1974 Cub Editors 3

Old High School Building -1915 Since Mr. Smith came to Chamberlain there have been many changes and enlargement in the town and school. At that time, in 1949, the Chamberlain School District included 450 students and employed 20 people on the faculty. Now since the school district covers 1600 square miles, the number of students has grown to 1300 and the school employs 75 people on the faculty. The school has also gained three new buildings and a new location for the superintendent’s office. The Egleston Building was ready for use in 1955, the Chamberlain Armory in 1958 and the Chamberlain Elementary School in 1963. Two years ago Mr. Smith’s office was relocated in the white house east of the Egleston Building. In 1952 the school became a North Central accredited school.
